    I thought about including Rogers, but why on earth would the Twins move him? Reddick was probably an oversight on my part, but my premise is that the Cubs would only make a move for a position player if that guy is a stud. Reddick is pretty close, but I don't think he is so much of an upgrade over who we have once Fowler comes back that the Cubs would go and get him.

    Here's the first look at the other teams. I combed through the bottom of the AL standings to look what might be for sale from Minnesota, Tampa, LA & Oakland. http://www.northsidebaseball.com/articles/cubs-articles/42-cubs-trade-deadline-preview-al-teams

    Also, funny line in the azl cubs game tonight. They've given up 12 runs on three walks and nine hits, with no home runs. You almost have to try to make that happen.

    I'm beginning to think that my optimism about DJ Wilson and Kevonte Mitchell coming into this year may have been unfounded.

    My guess would be the bum. He's been trolling the nsb facebook page, too. Da Bum is Levin Black. Is he the one trolling Facebook? yep

    So I just went through a bit more thorough of a reordering of my prospect list. I feel pretty good about all the guys 1-13, but I think things are pretty much a mess once you get past there. 1. Willson Contreras 2. Ian Happ 3. Eloy Jimenez 4. Albert Almora 5. Gleyber Torres 6. Carl Edwards Jr. 7. Dylan Cease 8. Mark Zagunis 9. Jeimer Candelario 10. Dan Vogelbach 11. Victor Caratini 12. Billy McKinney 13. Eddy Julio Martinez

    hey, man, you're stealing my article! :)

    Totally random thought...I wonder who pays for the charter. Is it MLB? The Cubs? Surely the players don't have to get themselves there.

    That was really more of a bad Zobrist play.

    Who was the guy that struck out three the other night?

    Hector Rondon is awesome and I laugh at the people who lost confidence in him.

    I like how Albert is so emphatic in calling off other fielders now.
  13. Tim
    wait what's the reference here? He's facing a sexual misconduct / rape accusation in Chicago from the last road trip.

    I love going to that ballpark, but it plays really stupid.

    Nor is it happening as a result in any way of the over performance early on, which is the real point. That's the gambler's fallacy part. It is all data points. A nine-game poop show from a starter definitely has some effect on his projection going forward. Not enough to overcome all the noise, but dismissing entirely is bad too. Recency bias and status quo bias are both wrong. Who is showing status quo bias? I assume you mean me. In which case, I challenge you to show where I've made a statement that can't be backed up. It takes more than two bad starts from a pitcher for the recent results to overcome 18+ months worth of results. That is, of course, assuming there is no sign of injury, changes in stuff, etc. Which is the case here - there's no loss of velocity, movement of all the pitches for these guys are similar, etc. They've been missing their spots more frequently the past couple trips through the rotation. It is certainly something to keep an eye on. But assuming this to be anything that is a long term concern at this point is jumping the gun. Except for Hammel. He sucks.

    lol - that's the worst hit double of Rizzo's career.

    How about griping about people griping at people for complaining?

    Another person that has no idea what "literally" means. some people literally take the use of the word literally way too literally What can I say? I'm annoyed by the over the top freaking out by people.
  19. Tim
    Tim, seriously, I get where you're coming from, but SOME freaking out is merited at this point because they've played a LOT of [expletive] baseball. It is both the quantity and nature of the freaking out that has me overcompensating. it is fine to freak out a bit. Don't be completely and totally irrational about it.
  20. Tim
    That was his second bad throw. They have just come in the last two days, so you and Tryptamine are freaking out about it. Allowing the tying run to be 90 feet away with less than 2 outs instead of at 2B is kind of a big deal. Yeah, sure. All catchers do that from time to time. It sucks when it happens. That doesn't bother me nearly as much as the boneheaded throw to 3B when Javy wasn't even covering. But it is very small compared to the value he is providing at C.
  21. Tim
    Look, we got out of the inning without runs. Ninnies.

    you mean like McCutcheon just did?

    So what, even though they're top 5 in FIP/xFIP and they're a good rotation on paper, the past 3 weeks of terrible pitching is what can be expected for the rest of the season? I'm trying to figure out what the argument is here. The argument is that almost the entire lineup has gone to [expletive] in this stretch and that's not "regression to the mean." wait wait wait - rotation or lineup?
